Hurricane Ernesto

RUMPOLE'S HURRICANE CHECK LIST

[] 7 Bottles of Chateau Miami River[] 2 Large bags of pretzels[] 1 can of Tuna Fish[] 1 Bottle of water.We're ready.In case of power loss, we have several emergency bloggers around the country to perform our duties. You see, several legal communities have had their own "Rumpole" befall them lately.We also recommend obtaining a copy of "The collected decisions of Judge Juan Ramirez" of the 3rd DCA. In case of loss of power you may need something to assist you in falling asleep quickly.See You In Court Monday with a wary eye on Ernesto.

I stand by my comments. The Big Q is THE MAN for DUI's in this county. You're practically guaranteed a breakdown if he's your lawyer. Prosecutor's avoid trying cases with him at all costs. If Clossius and Davenport arrest me and beat me up, he's the guy I'm calling.

Are you on drugs? Get off the blog Albert! You're about the last guy someone should hire to do their DUI! Next thing you know, you'll be telling us you'd hire Naftally to handle you 1st degree murder case!

That post about the poll for Hernandez is dead on. My group did it. His numbers look real good from where we're sitting. Just no screw ups for the next two weeks and he's in.

PS. Some exit polling preliminary numbers shows an even better precentage for him. But can't stand by those numbers just yet. Need a bigger sample. I'll post my email address after the election so all the doubters can email and apologize.

ATTENTION: THIS IS JUDGE ADRIEN. Despite the weather and despite what "fraiddy cat Farina" may do, my courtroom will remain open, with no breaks all week. I expect all personnel, lawyers, and defendants who I have not yet sent to prison to appear in court as ordered.

I'm Tough and give me a chance, I'll show ya.

Done and ordered, on this the Sunday of Hurricane Fear, in My crib, Miami, Florida.

Rump- our whole neighborhood decided to try early voting today. Went fantastic. We're in Miami Springs. The top favorite Judges were Ivan Hernandez, Mills-Francis, McWhorter, Leifman, and Murphy. About a hundred of us. People seemed most split on the Schwartz- Mendez race. Hernandez and Leifman, were the clear favorites.

You may remember that we scooped the Herald on this one and helped to start this lawsuit when we were the first to report about McWhorter's campaign violations on this Rumpole blog.

"A hearing on the case of Rodolfo Pedraza, Plaintiff, v. Shirlyon J. McWhorter, Candidate for County Court Judge, and Lester Sola, Supervisor of Elections, Miami-Dade County, in his official capacity, will take place on Monday, August 28, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. before the Honorable Thomas Barkdull, III, at the Palm Beach County Courthouse, 205 N. Dixie Highway, Room 10A, 10h Floor, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33401."

I'm working hard for a different candidate. I have been in the field at a poll since opening day. Say what you want about D'Arce and Hernandez. I have seen a tremendous get out the vote response by those guys in Hialeah and the City. Nursing homes, buses to the polls, you name it. From my vantage point, Faber is being out hustled.

The same busses probably stop at the hialeah medicare fraud clinics on the way to the polls. Hialeah, gotta love it! vote early , vote often, Vote for whom you are paid to vote for, and alwaysvote in the language of the land, Spanish

Faber has zero chance to win. Leifman has zero chance to win. Murphy has zero chance to win. Both of the Schwartzs' have zero chance to win. Let me go a step further and say that nobody with an anglo name stands a chance to win at the polls this September. Deal with it and get over it.

andy cotzin is a partner at broad and cassel. he does white collar crime, health care fraud, represents doctors in licensing procedings, etc..great lawyer who loves online poker and walks on the beach at sunset.

Bottom Line is Mcwhorter had multiple violations but Judge felt it was JQC place to enforce or penalze. Judge did not want to disenfranchise citizens of Dade by removing her from ballot. How about protecting citizens from Judge's abuse of campaign laws?

CATHY PARKS IS A-OK. SHE WAS AT THE INTERSECTION OF US1 AND S.W. 136TH STREET STANDING ON THE STREET GIVING OUT FANS TODAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I LIKE CANDIDATES WHO WORK HARD LIKE THAT. I VOTED FOR HER.

CATHERINE PARKS GET OFF THE BLOG. Who cares if you handed out fans on US1? Spend more time improving legal expertise and less in the street and on the blog and maybe you would get raise your abysmal bar poll ratings - all determined by your peers, the overwhelming majority of whom are saying you do not deserve to be on the bench.

Because of those negative remarks, is why I voted for M.T.Mendez! Parks people should of thought about this before posting their negative remarks. The funny thing I find here, is how you and those running for Parks try to turn things around to blame the Mendez lovers! If you can take the beef that you started then get off the blog.

Is this the only way Parks is campaigning? Does it mean if elected she will spend most of her time on the blog? I wonder! I have not once seen Tinkler posting anything on the blog, that goes to show she must be very dedicated and focusing on her campaign race, while Parks spend most of her time on the blog trying to get everyone to side with her.

I haven't seen Parks on the blog very much, and only when to give information to Rumpole who requested information so he could do his endorsements. Otherwise, I've seen her using her name so as to point out inaccuracies. But no negative campaigning.

Yeah sure! You need to read all the post, before convincing me! Cathern Parks, may have not said negative remarks, but Parks lovers did. Anyway, who really actullay cares! I bet both candidates are nice persons! We must admit, those going for Parks, will stand up for Catherine and those going for Marisa will also stand up for Marisa! That is all part of the campaign, rather one likes it or not! The days are getting closer and we will soon know who will be the winner.
